Crude slate

Historically heavy sour crude imported from Latin America/Mexico/South America; since Jan-Feb 2026 an increasing share of Venezuelan heavy sour crude, one of the few Gulf Coast slates that can run it.

Crude in & products out

Direction	Mode	Route	Point / origin	Products	Source
crude in	marine	Bayou Casotte marine terminal (refinery wharf) Most crude processed at Pascagoula comes from foreign sources and arrives by ~800-foot marine tankers managed by Chevron Shipping Company, discharging via pipeline from the wharf to on-site storage. The marine terminal is on Bayou Casotte adjacent to the Port of Pascagoula.	Historically Latin America; increasingly Venezuela since ~Jan/Feb 2026	crude	source
products out	marine	Bayou Casotte / Pascagoula Harbor marine terminal About 65% of all refinery products leave via ship or barge; the marine terminal has separate berths for loading refined products.	Chevron Pascagoula Refinery	gasoline distillate jet fuel	source
products out	pipeline	Plantation Pipeline Chevron's own 2005 statement: transports refined product from Pascagoula to the Plantation Pipeline for delivery to terminals/markets in the southeastern U.S. Confirmed again by an independent refinery database as the current outbound products pipeline.	Pascagoula refinery	gasoline distillate	source
products out	truck rack	On-site refinery rack (Chevron Products Company) MDEQ's permit filing names Chevron USA Inc./Chevron Products Company as the facility's operator; a refinery of this scale (~361,000 bpd, 20 major process units) virtually always operates an on-site truck rack, though a dedicated rack was not separately documented.

Events

2026-02 other
Chevron significantly increased processing of Venezuelan heavy sour crude at Pascagoula following the easing of Venezuela-related restrictions after Maduro's capture; Pascagoula is one of a limited number of Gulf Coast refineries (alongside New Orleans, Lake Charles, Port Arthur, Houston, and Corpus Christi facilities) configured for that heavy, sour slate. source
2021-05-12 outage
Chevron stated its Pascagoula refining operations were unaffected by the Colonial Pipeline ransomware-driven outage and continued shipping fuel to its customer network - relevant context for the Colonial Pipeline graph edge below even though slightly outside the 2-year window. source

Rates are pipeline line-haul transcribed from published FERC tariffs; every figure cites its tariff and item. Cost to serve (netback) adds origin spot price and destination fees. "Confirmed" links match a tariff delivery point to the facility; "same city" means the point is in the facility's city — plausible, not proof; "per research" means the facility's research profile names the pipeline as an outlet.
